Project aims
The ‘Kingsway to the Sea’ project aims to regenerate the underused and run-down facilities and green spaces on the seafront in West Hove.
As well as improving the area for residents it will provide an attractive space and opportunities for visitors of all ages. The scheme aims to protect and enhance the green spaces in the area, improving biodiversity and providing updated leisure and sports facilities which are relevant to the needs and aspirations of residents living and working in a densely populated part of the city.
Consultation and funding
The council is working with community organisations to develop the plans. In September 2021, a public consultation was held where residents and users of the seafront area between the King Alfred Leisure Centre and Hove Lagoon had the opportunity to give their views on what they would like to see. The feedback from the consultation will be used to inform the overall design of the area.
The plans to improve Hove seafront have received £9.5 million from the Government’s Levelling Up Fund and the investment will complement other work underway on the seafront.
